Usually, I think of something interesting, go to that section, browse, pick up a random book, read the back, read part of the middle &/or beginning, then put it in the stack.
When I'm finished browsing, I usually go through the 20-30 books I've picked up, see what interests me most, what I can afford, and then buy a coffee and read random parts. Then I buy the best 5 or 6.
I only buy a book online if I can't get it directly from the store or if it's IMMENSELY cheaper. ex: Just bought "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions" after I was inspired to read Asian Literature via the Tale of Genji. Amazon says 40 bucks. They must be out of their minds, i don't care if it IS imported, that's too much. So I buy it used. I rarely ever buy a new book online.
How ya doing, buddy?
